Xournal on TF201 - best free PDF annotator -so close but so far away!! - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Xournal is a damn-cool PDF annotator and note taking app (with text and freehand drawing, etc). It's free, open source and ported to almost every platform in existence. There are several apps on the Market that come *close* to it, but is probably still the best note taking+drawing+pdf editor out there I think. Repligo does come very close, and maybe I'm just used to Xournal since I'ved used it before on Wacom tablets....
However, it has *not* been ported to Android, and the devs have no real interest in doing so.
So.... I focused my energies on getting Linux on to Transformer Prime, and finally got Xournal loaded.
I first rooted the Prime, using viperMOD (making sure to install VooDoo root keeper!!): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427125
Then I installed linux via chroot, using the Backtrack 5 image (ubuntu varient):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428475
Next, I added the "universe" repositories to BT5's apt-get using this method:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine
Xournal is not in their primary repositories, but it is in the "universe" repository.
This allowed me to "sudo apt-get install xournal" and get xournal installed (launchable from BT5 terminal window).
All said and done, I got this, using Jump Desktop VNC client (extremely fast BTW):

Maddeningly though, that was the *EASY* part. I have one more step: find a VNC viewer that accepts styluses!!
I own an Adonit Jot Pro, and really enjoy its accuracy (especially now with touchscreentune!)
Touchscreentune made *all* the difference in the world to me: I couldn't write worth damn before it because of a lag issue on the screen. With it, I can write incredibly small text quickly and easily, and FAST (have to customize it to your writing style, but that's the best way to do it).
However, I would love to use the stylus while VNC'd, and just can't seem to get it to work
I have tried Jump Desktop and PocketCloud, which are excellent VNC viewers because of their speed. However, I am having a bear of a time trying to draw lines through them.
Anyone have any recommendations? I *don't* mind spending $10 for a really great VNC viewer for android, but it's gotta support styluses for that kind of price....Free would be even better!

i'd rather pay $10 for xournal to be ported to android! how difficult would that be for the devs?

Best case assuming that they are not tied to GTK+ and related libraries, port the important non-GUI parts to build with the NDK or do a static compile for ARMv5 and any dependencies they need (even to the point of static linking (g)libc). Then write the entire GUI in Java+Android and expose the important C code accordingly.
If they are tied to X11/GTK+, then it is probably a better use of time for someone to just write a comparable program from scratch.

[Q] TVersity android app?

I was looking for a way to stream my media on the go. I tried VLC, but that was too buggy, orb was too slow and then I came across TVersity which works great.
You can access it with the webinterface when you are on the road. It works very good on the A101, but it is lacking some features. So I wondered if there is an apk available with some more features. If there isn't I think I am going to write one or adjust the webinterface.

I had some time this weekend and am almost done with writing my own app and webinterface for android to access the Tversity webserver.
If there is interest in this, I will develop it further, so that it is end user ready. If not I just fit it to my needs and I am done with it.
The program is a small apk that needs to be installed on the archos and some webfiles that needs to be copied to the server where Tversity is installed.
Maurice
I'm definitely interested!
me too on archos 10.1 and 7.0
love to get this app too
Nice work divx118!
Shame TVersity don't have a linux alternative. I do believe there is one in the works though, so I'll be keeping an eye on your project... if you undertake it that is.

Unfortunately there is indeed no linux or mac version available. For now it is windows only.
If I find some time next weekend I will see if I get a beta version ready no promisses though. For serving videos I have it almost ready. There are however some issues with streaming audio when you are not on the local network. With some files the music player on my 101 will crash. I think it is the long url that is the problem I had no time to investigate if this is indeed true. I myself will not use music streaming, but I see if it is possible to solve this.
For video files I have thumbnail support, with a work a round. It needs the thumbnail with the same name as your videofile in a folder where also my webcontrol will be.
If you however have XBMC installed it is just a few minutes work todo this. I am also looking if I can get it to work for the parent folders, now it is only working for the video files itself.
Maurice
very interested, i already use tversity for 360 streaming.
I'm interested also!
I'm interested as well...
I am still working on it. My free time is however limited. That is why it is taken so long. Atleast this weekend I have some time available.
A little update on what still needs to be done and what is ready before a first release:
1) creating the APK to install on your archos. This is ready and is working for videofiles streaming. TODO for the APK is cleaning up the code and put in some error catching. Also I still have to decide if I use a new intent to play audio files or integrate the mediaplayer in the apk. For videos I use a new intent, this means it will start the default videoplayer for playing your videofiles. For audio this didn't work so well in my testing.
For handling the pictures I decided to do that entirely in the webcontrol, which is much easier.
2) The webcontrol is also almost ready. TODO is integration of pictures viewing like a slideshow etc.
The features are pretty simple. You can add two urls in the apk one for if your are on your local network and on for when you are on the road. Further you can adjust the number of items that will be displayed in one view. I tested with 100 items and it was very fast.
You can choose between thumbnail view and listview for pictures and a seperate item view setting when in thumbnail view.
If you have anymore features that should be added you can just post a reply with your suggestions.
Maurice
thanks for this.
the default video player isn't cutting it for me.
Can't wait to test this out when it's released
ditto, can't wait to test it out!
Hi,
Try Qloud Video, it is same as 'AirVideo' on iPhone,
search it in market and you will surprise.
Leo
Any chance we can get a look at your current app? I am dying to get my hands on it. If not such is the way of life.
Interested, this would be awesome to have.
Just a little update:
Playing audio in the apk is ready. Audioplayer is pretty simple start, pause, next song, previous song and shuffle the playlist. You can also click on a song in the playlist. Only playing mp3 gives sometimes a scrambled output. It seems to be an archos issue.
You can use a horizontal swipe to switch between audioplayer and the webview.
I also want the same implementation for images, because displaying them in the webview is a bit slow. That is what I am working on right now.
Another feature I added is when rotating the archos the GUI rotates too.
However it still needs some work before a first release, it is the first time I code in java and on android. So I need todo some research to see how things are done. Also I don't want to release a version that only half works and then putting my time in answering questions "when do we get an update?", "Why doesn't the app work?" and so on.
Please be patient
The release will be in the near future, I guess I need a few more free weekends, maybe less to finish it.
Thanks to all for your interest.

CyanogenMod / Kangs - Poor Flash Support?

Anyone know what it is about CyanogenMod (and thus kangs) that makes flash so wonky? I use FLASH VIDEO BROWSER to watch things like Hulu.... Works amazingly well (sorta).
It does not work on CM. It does on other ROM's (not kangs though). I emailed the developer and he commented that every CM user (not sure if CM7 has the problem) has issues and that it just does not seem to handle flash well.
Clearly there is an issue there with how Flash is handled. Anyone smart enough to try and help find what the problem is, or can offer suggestions on how to help fix it?
Before approaching CyanogenMod and sounding like a whiner, it would be nice to give some helpful feedback.
Aside from that.... also upsetting that ROMs built from source can not view Market movies, but other ROMs can. Any time my wife want to hook our Tab up to the TV I have to switch from AOKP to Task... It is not too hard to go back and forth, but I can't see the logic by Google here.
yep i kinda felt the same
See, I don't really want to get into details but, Adobe had mentioned that "Flash is dying" it's on the news, Most of the developers have given up on flash content, CM too as far as I've heard, because Java Script's can handle flash content properly, Like the Youtube app doesn't require you to have Flash to work. ICS production has also barred the use of Flash "Consumes too much battery" as the statement went, But regardless I would say to wait a few weeks or such, Hulu might shift to HTML5 which would rectify this issue, that and every other commonly visited site is about to swap content over to HTML5 as it can render/use/display flash content.
S.Jobs apparently saw this coming which is also why none of the iDevices till this day support flash. That and flash just degrades the performance of the PC, Want a good example? Look at Mozilla in task manager when viewing a Youtube video, 300k~500k memory usage. Grand.
Edit: Added Chrome too

Sum all of this together along with the 101 useless junk ads that appear and I won't be surprised as to why CM7 (Which is built from scratch) has a hard time with this.
Yeah, understand that HTML5 is ultimately the direction, but right now there are far too many sites that need flash, and the only custom roms that seem to have a glitch are CM9 and the kangs it spawns.
I cant imagine going a long period where someone on CM cannot utilize flash/sites where someone on a stock rom can... just seems like if you are on the best rom, you should have the best experience.
def not articulating this well.

Ah it's all good, afaik probably CM has already seen the downside to this when building it from scratch which is why they tried their best to make this app reliant? I don't know how to explain it in simpler terms but, Instead of browser depending on the system to run flash content via Flash Player, it's more like the Youtube app? Where the app itself is able to handle the processing without much dependency on other apps.
On another note, Flash content is copyrighted including their drivers and CM is an open source that doesn't want to have anything to do with copyrighted stuff (Would explain why they don't even include the gapps into the pre installation) I guess they tried to make sure the system was able to handle what was required of the user without depending on copyrighted apps, probably to avoid lawsuits, IDK, it's probably their own personal reasons too.
^ the cease and desist order from google to cyanogen = why we have gapps now. A clever work around to their threat. Not sure why all of the kangs also use gapps, I guess since they are using cm they feel they need to.
O well, guess there is no good answer... shame that CyanogenMod currently has an issue with Flash. Makes it impossible for me to watch hulu.
Flash isn't hardware accelerated in the cm9/AOSP builds and the video driver in general has many issues. I think we'll have to wait for an official release or at least a leaked ICS ROM for the 10.1 to get proper video drivers.

Because android in general is highly dependent on Google for almost everything, like a little baby craving for mommy's bossom as much as they want to rid the use of Gapps ,the whole purpose of android was bound around google related apps they are allowed to make use of it however as Gapps are open sourced like android itself, If flash was bought over by Google rather than Adobe, then probably CM scene wouldn't have a hard time with it I guess. I tend to forget at times that Flash and GApps are under different major companies

Virtual Windows on Yoga Book Android

Hi guys,
as I'm reading since a couple of weeks that many of you woul'd like to have Android and Windows running on their Yoga Books I'd like to share how I was able to do so.
Basically I've just purchased the Yoga Book to try this way in order to evaluate whether I still need my Windows Laptop or not. Answer: I do not need it anymore
At "Paperspace" it's possible to create a virtual windows desktop PC which you can access via chrome browser.
There you have the option to create either an already licensed Windows Server which will be used in desktop mode or you can bring your own Windows 10 pro license to use a regular desktop version (which I did).

After this decision you can either rent this virtual Windows machine on a monthly or hourly rate. I chose the hourly rate as I just use my Windows account for programs like tax or "just" windows based tools. But most of the time I can live with Android for surfing, entertainment and similar.
As soon as you finished those steps you can just run your machine from any device on your Chrome browser (works with smartphone and tablet and of course on other Windows machines).
You can see a almost transparent circle in the upper right area where you have a menu to swith to fullscreen and to other advanced settings (e.g. gaming mode,...).
The difference from paperspace to other services like AWS from Amazon or similar is the fact that you won't start a remote desktop session but a video feed. Therefore you can achive way better frame rates and can also play games and watch Netflx for example (for me pretty good as I'm living in Germany and with this alternative I do not need a VPN anymore in order to get the US content).
I've also installed my Office 365 on the Virtual Machine and it works perfect. So as you can see you'll have a fully functional Windows running on a Android device in your browser.
There is only one negative fact which I do not want to hide. As Windows is running as a video feed the touch support is not possible (yet). To bypass this issue I've ordered a bluetooth mouse which will then enables the mouse cursor in windows and makes it fully usable. It's not a big issue (at least for me) as I'll just use windows for special programms or tools where I anyway want to control it via mouse instead of touching on the display.
Here the mouse I'm using which I've purchased at Amazon for 25€: Microsoft Designer Mouse
If you have something what I should test for you or if you've any questions just ask.
As I was searching several month/years for such a solution I thought its worth sharing with you.
Note: It does not work with iPads (tried it with my mini before I bought the Yoga Book) due to the fact that iOS does not support mouse cursors "unjailbreaked".
I gave this a try today, and I am not thrilled.
I first tried it on my Chromebook and it worked well.
Although the load time is kind of long.
When I got home from work I tried logging in from my Yoga book (android) and It was not a good experience.
full screen did not work well for me as it kept cutting off the bottom of the screen.
The touch pad does work well, and when I tried a bluetooth mouse it worked better, but no right click.
I think it would work better if there was an android app instead of using chrome.
Also the mouse/ touchpad options on the Yoga book android sucks. the Stock mouse handeling is way better, and I would love to get that fixed.
Right click must depend on the mouse cause at mine it's working.
Loading time for booting takes ~30sec and also at my yoga book there isn't something cut off in Fullscreen mode.
Hi,
I have spent a lot of time searching about that topic, I have some difficulty with the word & PowerPoint products quality and I want to do more with photo editing?
want to thank you alot ?
Q// Someone say that there is issues with the sound, true??
Q// How can I do that for my android Lenovo??

Error trying to install GApps trough twrp

Hi, I'm trying to install the GApps on my phone, recently I puted lineageOS 14 on it, but when I try to flash the GApps I get the following error "architeture error, you need a 25 SDK. You have , (yeah, it doesnt show)", I tried the amr and amr64 without good results. What can I do? Thanks.

Wrong thread.
Anyway you need GApps for android 7.1.X. Download correspondent one.
I tried just about everything mentioned above... I finally tried to simply delete the Google TTS app (approx 20mb) and reattempt.
The gapps flashed 100%, no error. The size of the file was a bit smaller, so I'm guessing the 20mb was a real squeeker.
Super annoying as I just wanted to try and get Google Play (store) on the Raspberry Pi 4. I tried a few other OS's, this is the closest I've come, and the only that has worked as I want to emulate Android and Install .APK files.. All other OS's failed.
The Raspberry Pi 4 is neat so if anyone was thinking the same here you go, I have yet to install exactly what I want.. but I can say that after deleting the "googletts-arm.tar.lz" from the open_gapps-arm-9.0-pico-20210604 .zip manually. I remember doing this on phones once and it worked.. so I figured give it a shot. I flashed the gapps, factory reset, and when I did my reboot I was met with the Google "Welcome" screen and knew everything was installed... and tested yes it works!
Credit to the guy who did this article, but just follow the above instructions or picture as illustrated. I have a 64GB card running Lineage-16.0 but it says it's only about 3-4GB and only 2GB Free, which is weird but I don't know this OS very well.
I recently purchased the Raspberry Pi 4 8GB in hopes it could be a source to stream and watch my security cams, browse the web, literally simple stuff I do on a laptop that gets hot and eats up power. This little device is still new and innovative and having kinks worked out, yes it can run Windows 10 but that version of Windows 10 is not a true 64-Bit and does not allow me to load the programs I normally do such as Bluestacks for emulating Android which is super easy and covers most of the nonsense apps I run in the background... as well as a few others that no longer run on Windows 7, or only run on Windows 10.. Hopefully Raspberry pi4 gets fixed up but until it has 100% fixed Windows 10 I think Lineage + Google Play will have to suite!
It's actually working very well, a little slower than I expected but considering that this device is so tiny I am impressed as it's a lot cooler and saving power vs my old clunky laptop that sits and provides the same applications around the same speed.

I can confirm this worked and has been successful for the most part, maybe not the fastest OS for the Raspberry PI 4 (specifically on a 22" display vs a touch screen/tablet) as this OS would be a lot nicer on a touch screen, not very friendly for the keyboard/mouse.. but still works well.
Slimming down that 120mg gapps.zip did the trick, just delete the Google Text to Speech app (20mb) manually by opening the .zip with WinRar and under /GApps you'll see only 4 files, the "googletts-arm.tar.lz" was the one I right clicked, selected Delete.. it slimmed the .zip file saving 20mb, and that was really the turning point... I guess the OS was running slim come available HD space. Which is odd because after installing Google Play Store, I have downloaded numerous applications & games, I've even tested Clash of Clans.. which is not very fun with a mouse/keyboard and is a tad slow.. but it WORKS!
I just wanted a machine I could donate from one of my accounts as well as watch my IP Cams around the house via Wyze's Google Play Store App. I've had some issues with my older IP Cameras but mostly can always view them in VLC player and I tested and it indeed worked.
Hope this helps, spent an hour banging my head trying to remember how I used to make the gapps.zip's flash on my older cell phones w/ Cynanogenmod.... And to give credit this was the tutorial I used... Maybe there is something newer out there I am not sure... I will be looking into Cyanogenmod later for hopefully better performance.

Question Fake Explorer

Greetings and salutations my fellow developers. I come to you today with what is a tremendous thorn in my side. I am running a debloated win 10 enterprise with an AMD Ryzen 3 processor with integrated grapics. Looking at my task manager one day I noticed a program named explorer.exe that wasn't really that. I used all the anti-virus Anti-Malware programs I know. Nothing. So then I web searched and found hope. Alas, even the specific problem solving procedures didn't work. Even reinstalling windows, after a few wipes from Gparted did nada. Registry check , Sheila, eset, all nothing. Everytime I launch a program or do a restart, there it is. It's effecting everything. I've even wiped my 5tb external and lost a LOT. Nope, still there. Here's the thing: it shows up in the themes folder Everytime. If I delete that folder, we'll, bad. But I can't count how many times I've scanned my whole PC. Ugh. Please help, I use my computer for music production and I'm very stressed about this. Any thoughts? Thanks again my friends, I trust you all.
How about some linux CD to boot and then scanning it?

But I am not up to date which one to use (before I switched to linux I used usually Kaspersky)... Also sysinternal could be helpful in investigating:

PS: Did you ever scan that particular program/file in virustotal? Perhaps it is supposed to be like that I mean how to do you conclude it's bad?

Cool. I'll give that a try. So Kaspersky has a linux variant?
I have Ubuntu installed in wsl. Not sure if I can somehow align the planets and do it from there.
Well, basically you just burn an ISO onto a CD (thus you can be sure it's unchanged) and then boot it and scan your machine. And (at least back then) Kaspersky came with a nice big list of virus signatures.
Just so I know. What's virus total? And I'm positive it shouldn't be there. Everytime I open an executable, it creates an exact replica of it from whatever folder I launch it in. Only difference is its an exe.tmp. I'll try your advice when I reach home and let you know what I come up with. Humblest thanks..
VT is basically all scanners in one:

U went with the Kaspersky iso and it took all night but I've finally got my computer back. I thank you kind sir for your time and knowledge.

Whoa, good news! Glad to hear that!
I'd still wonder about the source of your troubles. Have you been able to find any pointers (logfile)? For example, those tools like kaspersky put such nasty files in a special folder (aka quarantine) for further inspection...
Well what I did was completly scan every file one each drive. It seems I downloaded an infected third party theme. Hence, the reason why it chose there to populate. Honestly I've never dealt with viruses so it scared me. I didn't pay attention to that but I have a laptop that it somehow jumped to. Once I do that one I'll attach photos.
Hi, glad you sorted this. After reading your 1st post, I had a thought it might be a win 11 update, that had got blocked somehow and kept duplicating itself.
Thankfully it was just a virus. Win 11 would have caused you far more pain with far more serious damage
